I think LW had a biblical moment, he saw the writing on the wall!! I also queried whether the ambition thing had an influence on his Swansea decision making.
I suspect it's not lack of ambition, possibly more a case of trying to stay within the SCMP (Financial Fair Play) rules
SM has a record of doing well on a limited budget at Wealdstone. No doubt this was a big plus point in hiring him
Recruiting on data is great on paper and in theory makes financial sense
Our failing defenders may have pretty good data stats overall at past clubs but we fans know that almost all of them lack concentration and none them are natural leaders in the JOB mould
Lewis Macari may be an exception but he's missed a lot of games through illness and injury
I can't remember him making any howlers so far
The ridiculous mistakes of Tuesday night happened all the time under LW. Remember the Shrewsbury FA cup game?
I had friends who support other clubs genuinely ask me if I thought some of our players had deliberately thrown the match
Of course I was able to say definitely not as similar cock ups happen every other week. It was just a case of 3 happening together in one game v Shrews. Watch them again. They are pitiful
Let's be honest it was even happening in the NL last season but our forwards were usually able to score more than we gave away at the other end at that level
